One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Unadilla who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
